I had awful night cramps in my left leg for a few months before diagnosed but since I've had my BG under control it hasn't happened.

That's interesting Grogg coz I've had less cramps since dx but afraid not to take the meds in case the night cramps return - when they do my legs from thighs to feet are literally twisted in all directions & cramped - very painful indeed 😱 glad you're not suffering with cramp anymore x

Mine used to wake me up and leave me with a very sore pulled calf muscle for days. I first suffered them while pregnant but they then went away with only the occasional spasm but they returned with a vengeance last year. Always at night while sleeping and always left calf muscle.

You could have Gin with diet tonic 🙂

Oh, I do 😉

Absolutely - quinine isn't just for malaria, it's good for cramp too! LOL

Are you on Motorhome Fun?

So I'm not the only one..... Very few leg cramps these days, last one perhaps a couple of months ago & before that I can't even remember

Yup - guilty as charged - I wondered if it was you! - and then thought, well really, any lady from the 'Pool area might have that as her handle .....

Small world, isn't it!

Hi. My husband was diagnosed September 2016 & I was diagnosed March 2017. Since September we have become mostly sugar free and cut back our alcohol intake (painful ).
Hoping to pick up hints & tips 🙂

Hi scouse bird pleased to meet you & a warm welcome to the forum.

Hi and welcome, doing the no drinking or sugar after years of exuberance shall we say and for me there was a definite point a couple of weeks in when i felt so much better than i had in years. As a time filler I started walking and this again made me feel good. I'm an all all nothing mentality so I don't have the odd tipple/sweet at the moment but never say never. Good luck and keep it up the support on here is excellent
